We have seen and heard some very unusual things out here in the country over the years, from UFO reminiscent lights in the sky to paranormal elements. Obviously it isn't like in the movies, you'll have a year or two where some mildly strange things happen and it goes quiet again for the better part of a decade. All I'm saying here is that in my experience, unusual things are known to occur in this area.<br /><br />I've been familiar with the story of the Saunemin Giant for many years. My brother and I have been out to that creek several times and camped down on the sandbar. Late at night we have heard some unsettling noises that make my hairs stand on end. One night we walked out to the sandbar to retrieve a fishing pole he'd left there by accident the night before and we encountered a large set of beaming eyes ahead on the sandbar. I've heard of an occasional cougar in the area and my first thought is always of a cougar when we hear or see anything big and creepy out there. So if you are like us and get a kick out of hanging out down that way in the nighttime, bring a gun.<br /><br />We are deliberately camping out where the Vermillion runs into the creek as it is said the Saunemin Giant has been witnessed there. I'm uneasy of the idea but if we happen to encounter anything notable I will return here and detail it. I don't plan on the Giant, but the notion of running afoul whatever is responsible for the freakish sounds we've heard is scarier to me because that's probably a cougar. Seen some big creepy eyes out on the sandbar, never know what it could have been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613552758192348612.post-6080755311327097462013-03-20T12:58:25.717-07:002013-03-20T12:58:25.717-07:00106Why is everybody talking about Saunemin Giant? ...106Why is everybody talking about Saunemin Giant?

Saunemin is in Livingston County,Il. but near enough to the other sightings that it might indicate a migratory pattern for bigfoot in Illinois. The Saunemin Giant has also been described as a ghost, but that may be because the witnesses did not believe a human could be so tall. <br /> The Saunemin Giant seems to have been consistently sited numerous times over many years. Perhaps they tend to stay near Saunemin and only occassionally migrate to Seneca, Farmer City, Fairbury, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613552758192348612.post-58814104661681210482012-07-12T20:17:35.222-07:002012-07-12T20:17:35.222-07:00I'd like to hear more about the Saunemin Giant...I'd like to hear more about the Saunemin Giant.

S...I have heard many stories of the Saunemin Giant. Some say it's a giant ghost while others believe it's a bigfoot. It always is reported as being very tall, about 7'? and very dark brown or black and shadowy. The reports usually seemed to center around 5 Mile Creek near where it enters the Vermillion River. I have also heard that it has been seen in 5 Mile Cemetery nearby. Is it a bigfoot, a ghost, or just some giant of a guy that hangs out by the creek and runs off trespassers? The Saunemin Giant remains a mystery. It kinda scares me too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613552758192348612.post-5159090373948706152012-02-11T21:06:10.697-08:002012-02-11T21:06:10.697-08:00The Saunemin Giant supposedly was a giant gorilla ...The Saunemin Giant supposedly was a giant gorilla like creature sighted in the 1930s along a creek near Saunemin,IL.

They were deer hunting along the 5 Mile Creek and say a giant shaggy "man" in the woods near the creek. It startled them and ran towards them. They were not sure if it was human or a ghost or bear or some bigfoot type creature. They were frightened an fired their shotguns in the air. The giant paused and stared at them for about 30 seconds, then slowly walked into the woods. They were scared and left immediately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613552758192348612.post-71695648710136676422011-12-25T12:22:46.009-08:002011-12-25T12:22:46.009-08:00i had heard reports of the Saunemin Giant many tim...i had heard reports of the Saunemin Giant many times over the years. It's a large shadowy figure seen near where 5 Mile Creek enters the Vermillion River. It has also been seen near 5 Mile Cemetery by Saunemin,IL. The height is between 6'8" and 7' tall. Some even say they think it could be a ghost. There have been many sightings, some as early as the 1930s. The local newspaper had pictures of one many years ago. <br />In recent years, ATV riders reported that they were chased away from a wooded area along 5 Mile creek by a dark giant who threw large stones at them. Some of them were injured after being hit in the head and back. Their ATVs were also damaged. I'd like to see more information on the Saunemin Giant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
